JOIN US! film screenings about immigration: through thick and thin & sentenced home

by BAIRC

Dear Friends,

As you know, our current immigration system is broken. It separates families and
communities. I invite you to join us for the film screenings below that share the
painful stories of separation created by our deficient immigration system and learn
how to get involved and take action against these injustices!

Peace,
Larisa
